can anyone tell me if the pools on the elation are big enough to spend the day at? from the pictures they look really small and we only have one port so we want to make sure this is what we are looking for.

I wish I could answer the question about the pools. They do look small. I rarely get in them, unless I'm going down a water slide and it is the end result. I don't cruise for the pools though.

I do enjoy the Lido Deck around the pools tremendously. The sun, and fun entertainment going on, and just kicking back in a lounge chair watching the ocean as the ship moves along. This is my idea of a perfect day.
